    Factors Affecting Gender Equality in Education

    Uploaded by

    Clarisse Sampang
    This document discusses factors that affect gender equality in education. It identifies four main factors: 1) socioeconomic demands that create barriers like poverty and household responsibilities, 2) political and institutional barriers like inadequate funding and support for poor families, 3) cultural factors like parental attitudes and early marriage/pregnancy norms, and 4) school-related factors like untrained teachers, lack of gender sensitivity, and infrastructure issues. These factors limit girls' access to schooling and lead to outcomes like low female enrollment, high dropout rates, and fewer opportunities and contributions from women. The document provides recommendations to promote equality of access, learning processes, educational outcomes, and external results between girls and boys.

    Factors Affecting Gender Equality in

    Education
    1. Demand (Socio Economic Factor)
    Poverty
    Direct Opportunity Cost
    Higher cost
    Household/agricultural task
    Residence in remote area
    Limited employment opportunities for
    graduates
    Lower pay for women
    2. Supply(Political /Institutional
    Factors)
    Budget constraint
    Aid condition
    Insufficient support for the poor
    Political instability
    Poor quality of education programs
    3. Cultural factors
    Parents low level of education
    Lower priority for girls
    education
    Early marriages and
    pregnancies
    Role of the girls/women as a
    wife and a mother
    4. Factors linked to School

    sensitive to gender issues.
    Stereotype at school.
    School curricula in conflict with
    traditional culture.
    Sexual harassment; insecurity
    Distance from school.
    Poor quality of bathrooms.
    Results…
    Limited access to schooling.
    Low female enrolment.
    School drop-out particularly at puberty
    age.
    High proportion of illiterate women
    Reduced employment opportunities
    Reduced contribution on national
    economic and social development.
    Girls’ limited bargaining power.
    Absence from the political decision-
    making process.
    SOLUTION
    EQUALITY OF ACCESS
    Equality of access means that girls
    and boys are offered equitable
    opportunities to gain admission to
    formal, non-formal, or alternative
    approaches to basic education. Actual
    attendance, rather than enrolment, is
    a better indicator of whether access
    has been achieved.
    • Situate schools in close proximity to
    students’ homes.
    • Improve the ability of schools to
    provide educational services through
    education finance mechanisms that
    increase spending on quality inputs
    such as textbooks and decrease
    parental payments that may inhibit
    student attendance.
    EQUALITY IN THE LEARNING
    PROCESS
    Equality in the learning process means that
    girls and boys receive equitable treatment
    and attention and have equal opportunities
    to learn.
    This means that girls and boys are exposed
    to the same curricula, although the
    coursework may be taught differently to
    accommodate the different learning styles
    of girls and boys. Equality in the learning
    process also means that all learners should
    be exposed to teaching methods and
    materials that are free of stereotypes and
    gender bias. In addition, it means that boys
    and girls should have the freedom to learn,
    explore, and develop skills in all academic
    and extracurricular offerings.
    EQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL
    OUTCOMES
    Equality of educational outcomes
    means that girls and boys enjoy
    equal opportunities to achieve and
    outcomes are based on their
    individual talents and efforts.
    EQUALITY OF EXTERNAL
    RESULTS
    Equality of external results occurs
    when the status of men and
    women, their access to goods and
    resources, and their ability to
    contribute to, participate in, and
    benefit from economic, social,
    cultural, and political activities are
    equal.
    How can we improve gender
    equality in education?
    1. Be a Role Model for Your Students/children.
    2. Don’t Connect Gender to an Ability or Personality
    Trait.
    3. Include Gender Equality in the Curriculum.
    4. Teach Students to Be Aware of Personal Biases
    Mao Zedong once said,
    “Women hold up half the
    sky,"
    Thank you!
